When Ludovico first became able to land a blow on Mystia during their training, he revealed his feelings for her. "Am I required to submit to your royal influence?" she said furrowing her brow, feeling pressured. Improving his technique over the years, he eventually became able to contest her as her equal. "Looks like the apprentice has caught up with his master!" she said, laughing. And then, when he had risen to become the greatest swordsman in the land, Mystia finally accepted his ring onto her finger. No longer the timid and he once was, he had won her affection, and was finally able to hold his head high as her prince and her lover.
